Large leaf plant help please

[Guest]

Help please. My mind has gone blank. I am trying to think of outdoor plants with a long leaf but I can only think of hosta and calla lillies. Any suggestions would be great.

Thanks as always

Long and strappy or long and broad?
Phormiums, gunnera...........

A long, fatty, pointy, oval shape but pliable. So I am not after much

Is it one you've seen or got or in your dreams?

Musa?

In me dreams It is not a particular plant I have in mind, just trying to think of other plants with similar leaves to hostas, cannas and callas, but coming up blank. However, from your response that could be cos there ain't nothing

Inula magnifica. Bomb proof perennial. Mine have just gone over.

Zanteschia aethiopica. Usually used as a pond plant but I've had it growing in containers, which weren't always watered.

It sounds a bit like Fatsia japonica its good in the shade & evergreen I think?

Agapanthus?

Zanteschia aethiopica grows in the ground around here, I've got some in my garden that seems to be happy

They were very invasive in sandy soil of my late mother's garden and the smell was a bit much when working in beds of it.

If bulbs get into compost you've had it as they can stay dormant for years.
